“Bekka was wonderful with my dog Spencer! She took him for a nice walk and then threw some toys around for him as well. He loved his time with Bekka! Will definitely be rebooking!”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors with both dogs and cats since I was 13. Currently I have two cats of my own, Puck and Toast and love to visit my parents’ three dogs! In particular, I’m great with shy and unfriendly cats. I am currently working remotely from home and make my own schedule, so it’s easy to fit your pet’s care into my daily routine based on their needs. Once I’ve given your pet some love and affection and tend to their immediate needs, I’ll do a quick sweep of the common areas to make sure there’s no mess and everything is exactly as you left it!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends, neighbors and family members since I was 10. I have potty trained and taught basic commands to my dogs, fed and cared for cats, guinea pigs and ball pythons. Pets are part of the family and should get high quality care regardless of their owners scheduling requirements. I'm working part time over the summer and looking to have pets to care for in my spare time. My availability is pretty open with the exception of 9am to 12pm Monday through Thursday in July. I would love to play with your pets, bring them for walks, provide food, water, love and attention. I genuinely care for all animals and would love to get to spend time with your pet.

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dedicated dog trainer with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From cuddly couch potatoes to high-energy working breeds, I’ve built a strong understanding of canine behavior—and I absolutely love what I do. I offer dog boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and dog walks, with flexible availability to fit your schedule. Whether your pup needs a fun-filled day of play or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered. My walks may be priced a bit higher, but they come with added value: if you’d like, I’ll incorporate leash manners and basic obedience training into the walk at no extra cost. It’s a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically engaged while reinforcing positive behavior. My doggy daycare service is perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to enjoy a full day of enrichment and social time in a safe environment. I offer transportation for daycare (and overnight boarding) within a reasonable distance in my dedicated van, which is equipped with secure crates for safe and comfortable travel. Your dog will have access to a full acre of securely fenced yard to run, play, and explore—plus a dog-friendly pool to cool off in during hot days! To ensure a safe and structured environment, all dogs will be crate rotated throughout the day. Crate rotation provides dogs with the rest and structure they need while preventing overstimulation and helping maintain a peaceful group dynamic. Safety is always my number one priority! I’ve previously worked in an animal hospital, so I’m also experienced in administering medications and providing attentive care for dogs with special health needs. Whether it’s pills, or a customized care routine, I make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for. Right now, I’m in the exciting process of growing my dog boarding and training business full-time. I’ve completely finished and transformed my basement into a dedicated board-and-train facility to provide a safe, clean, and enriching environment for every dog that stays with me. I’m currently working on obtaining all the proper licensing to operate at the highest professional standard. For now we’re going through Rover! For everyone’s safety, all dogs staying overnight will be crated during sleeping hours and when unsupervised. This helps ensure the well-being of your pup as well as the safety of other dogs in my care. Each crate setup is comfortable and designed to help your dog feel secure and relaxed. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every interaction—whether I’m caring for a laid-back senior dog or working with a high-drive sport dog. I also compete in dog sports with my own dogs, so I’m extremely comfortable handling all energy levels. While I’m not yet a certified dog trainer, I’m actively working toward professional dog training credentials to continue growing my knowledge and giving each dog the best care possible. I use only positive, reward-based training methods that help dogs feel safe, confident, and loved. If you’re looking for someone who brings both experience and heart to every visit, walk, or overnight stay, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I truly can’t wait to meet my new clients—both human and canine—and welcome every dog into my care as if they were my own. Your pup will be treated like family every step of the way!! Positive Puppy Training Sessions 🐾 I offer private, positive-based puppy training sessions designed to help your pup build confidence, learn good manners, and strengthen their bond with you. • Single Session: $90 • Training Bundle: $80/session (4 sessions total – 1 session a week for a month) The bundle covers all the puppy basics: ✅ Recall (coming when called) ✅ Sit, Stay, and Down ✅ Leash Manners ✅ Handling Puppy Biting Every session is fun, personalized, and focused on setting you and your puppy up for long-term success. ✨ Free consultations available! I’m happy to chat with you beforehand to see how I can best support you and your pup. Taking care of pets is what I do every day—it’s the heart of my business. I offer full-time boarding, daycare, and training from my home, which is set up just for dogs. Every day is planned around keeping dogs safe, happy, and engaged, making sure each one gets the attention and care they deserve. At my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured environment with crate rotation, a fenced acre to run, and a pool to cool off. I treat every dog like my own, keeping things fun but safe. For drop-ins and walks, I follow any care instructions closely and can include basic training or medication if needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first!

About: Hi, I’m Taylor! I'm an animal lover, Bengal cat mom, and experienced caretaker who understands that pets are family. I specialize in caring for cats of all personalities and needs, from shy seniors to high energy kittens. As the proud owner of a Bengal, I’m well versed in handling curious, clever, and sometimes chaotic felines. I’ve raised two dogs from three months old, so I’m familiar with the structure and routine dogs need & thrive on. My own pups go outside to play at least three times a day, so visiting dogs can expect a similar rhythm: regular outdoor time, a calm indoor space with lots of toys, and plenty of attention. As long as they’re good with cats, they’ll fit right in. I’m available for drop-in visits almost anytime: mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Whether you need someone to stop in for feeding, meds, litter scooping, or just to give your pets some company and care, I’ve got it covered. I treat every animal like my own and always respect your home and their routine. I work full time, but mostly from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I can easily adjust my hours with a bit of notice, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day for drop in visits, walks, or keeping a calm, consistent routine for pets staying in my home. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, whether I’m in your home or caring for pets in mine. I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure while you're away. In your home, I treat the space with care and respect, and I always double check doors, feeding instructions, and any special requests. At my home, pets have access to a quiet, structured environment with safe spaces to relax, regular outdoor time, and lots of attention.

About: My family has always had pets. In my adulthood, I have owned and trained a yellow lab and chocolate lab and currently have a black lab named Kingston. He is my best friend and his amazing. We also have a tabby cat named Biggie Smalls. He is very sweet. I am looking forward to the opportunity to spending time with your amazing pet friends and caring for them as if they’re my own. I am a 20 year teacher with the summers off and I’m available six days a week. I spend my summer months catching up on yardwork and vacationing with my family and can be available to assist in times of need for your pets. I can be available to care for your pets both at your home and take them for walks when needed. I am flexible with requests.

“Alie is an incredible sitter I would highly recommend her!”


About: I am a 21 year old stay at home mom and I am looking for a full-time job for pet sitting/ boarding positions to fill. I am a very friendly, dependable and responsible woman. I have past experience watching over family/friends pets and enjoy doing so thoroughly. In my free time I enjoy spending time my dogs who is a aussie-boxer mix and a 15 week old Dalmatian. I like to build a close relationship with all people and animals that I encounter. I provide pet care and dog walking services at my home which included feeding, exercise and play, waste clean-up and administering medications when needed. I can provide pet sitting and overnight stays to clients when needed, including canines with special needs. I can work with special needs pets (previously abused, shy, food-aggressive, etc.) With me, care is provided for special needs dogs, to include grooming, medication, and walking. If I am considered to pet sit for your fur-child you would not be disappointed!

“Carla has been great with my girls Mouse and Ivy. She is super dependable. She is always prompt with her communication and always lets me know if there is anything out of the ordinary during her visits and walks, which I appreciate very much. I recommend Carla, without reservation, for your pet care.”


About: I was previous owner of a pit and a chihuahua, I have a love for dogs. I can truly relate to anyone when it comes to someone truly caring about your dog, you want them to be treated like children, cared for like children. It’s something I will provide every time that I am with them, I can truly say dogs know who does it from the heart and who doesn’t. I currently work during the for Autistic support and have been working with children of all age groups for more than 10 years, like I stated before I am previous owner of a pit and chihuahua , they are currently is with my mom due to the move she made and me getting married she wanted to take them with her. The pit is 12 years old and the chihuahua is 7 years old and I still consider them my babies when I go to visit. I was caring for them for 6 years.

About: Hi there! Below are some reasons why I might be the perfect "Stand in Pet Parent" while you are away! Lifelong dog/cat ownership- I grew up with pitbulls, smartest dogs I ever owned! Now I have 3 labs and they are amazing. I rescued my cat back in 2007 she lives a happy life as an indoor/outdoor cat at my mother's house. I also have my personal cat Boogie, your standard chatty tuxedo dude. The absolute light of my life! Farm Experience- I started working on horse farms in exchange for riding lessons at age 5. I have continued on and off up through my adult life and have plenty of experience with horses in and out of the saddle. Also chickens, barn cats, rabbits, and other small animals! Tailored Care to the Individual- I've worked with animals of all ages from babies to elderly. I can give oral medications, change diapers, follow a diet plan, exercise, and provide stimulating downtime as well! I am currently in between jobs so my availability is very open for the summer! I typically work short shifts so I am able to care for animals before and after work and if I am staying at the home, several times throughout the night as well. I do not care for other people's pets at my home, but when going to a client's home I always make sure to leave it cleaner than I found it, and the pets happier than I found them :)

About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.

About: I have had dogs my entire life and I deeply care for them and love them. They always bring me great joy when I get to play with them and take care of them. I love to go for walks and hikes. I also enjoy going to parks and the beach when possible for long walks. I take care of my parents two cocker spaniels when they are away. I helped train my parents dogs and helped raised them from when they were puppies. I have also fostered an older dog with medical issues and have experience dealing with dog medication. I work full time and am looking to make money on the side. I can stop in before work and after work and I’m free weekends.

About: Hi! My name is Ana and I am a working professional in the area with a love for pets. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. I’m great with annimals and would love to give your pets the extra bit of love they deserve! Long walks? Bath time? Play time? These are what your best friend needs! Don’t let them miss out because of work, family vacations or anything else that may get in your way of your furry friend needs. Allow me to help and satisfaction is guaranteed. I am local to Willimantic, originally from MA. I will usually respond within an hour with my availability depending on the extent of the care requested. Rest assured your pets are in great hands and I’m excited to meet them! I have my own kitty at home and work with pets frequently. I want to be as respectful as possible of your home. If there is anything I should be aware of, areas you want me to avoid, please let me know. I am here to help support you! I am currently working remotely with a flexible schedule and so I will have plenty of time with your pets! I can’t wait to spend my time with them! In my home we have a relatively scheduled day for our pets with specific feeding and care times. If you have a particular schedule please let me know!


About: (See note at bottom about available hours). Birds, dogs, cats, snakes, chickens, chinchillas, lizards, fish, and even tarantulas! I’m a lifelong animal lover, and since I started house/pet-sitting in high school, I’ve cared for a huge variety of animals. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and I have so much fun getting to meet new fur-buddies and taking care of them while their owners are away! I know how important our pets are, and I will treat each pet with the love and care I give my own. I am also used to giving medicine to animals if necessary, as well as providing a little extra support to older or special needs pets, so just inform me if there's anything your pet needs from me that I should know about beforehand. NOTE: I am unable to stay overnight in your home. However, I am still available to house-sit for those of you that don’t mind if I come by late at night and early in the morning and just don’t stay overnight. The reason I’m still including the option to book me for house-sitting is that it’s much cheaper for you than it is to book individual drop-ins for each day, plus I can hang out for longer than drop-ins in most cases. Sorry for those of you that need someone to stay overnight, I hope you understand, and fortunately there’s lots of great sitters on Rover that can watch your fur-babies instead if that’s the case! My schedule is very flexible, as I work from home. It is possible to bring some work with me, but it takes me longer to do things in that case, so I most likely will return home to work. However, since I make my own hours, I can stop by anytime morning, day, or evening to spend time with your fur babies! For some cases I can bring my laptop with me to your home, just ask me about it when you reach out! I love to play and cuddle! My own cats are quite spoiled with pets and toys of all kinds. I do not currently have a dog, but when I did, we went for walks daily and played tug and fetch. I love all fur-babies and yours will receive the same love and care I’d want for my own if I were away! I also love to give kitty and doggy massages, but always start gentle and make sure your pet likes it before continuing. I’ve yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love getting a massage - cats are hit or miss though!

About: I currently have a 16 poodle in China which I grow up with. Every summer when I go back to China, I walk him three times a day. Every time during midnight, I will take him out run with him. Which might be the reason he is still looking very healthy. I’m currently a student at UConn, this is my last semester and I am only having 1 class in Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon from 2:30pm to 3:30pm. I am also couch a basketball club, and we will most likely to have practice on Saturday 7pm to 9 pm I will most likely to the pet at the place I am able to have my eyes on and make sure I know what are they doing to keep them out of danger

About: Ive been taking Ghost for 3 years now. In the past I’ve helped friends take care of their pets. This is a opportunity for me to learn more about pet caregiving. Pet care is integrated into my daily routine and is a source of joy, companionship, and responsibility. For example, each morning and evening there is a time for Ghost and I to eat feed, walk, and play. Other tasks, such as grooming or administering medication, may be performed on a more infrequent basis. I like to know what basic necessities such as food, water, and shelter, as well as regular exercise, grooming, and playtime are for each pet. Depending on the type of pet, it may also involve providing medical care and regular check-ups.

About: I’ve been taking care of and training a pit puppy and he’s never been so happy to let me continue to teach my baby more Pet care fits in perfectly as it is a job id love to pursue full time and id love to care for pets in need Every morning i take my puppy to use the bathroom and we go inside to eat breakfast together I would take him for a run to get all his zoomies out

About: Hi all. I have extensive, life long experiences with a variety of animals. From cats and dogs to pet birds, bearded dragons, aquariums and more! I have experience with newborn elderly, and expecting animals, and their unique needs. We currently have a large (150lb) dog, named Hades. We got him after our 2 eldery dogs (1 was a resuce at 2years old, and 1 I had from 4months to 16 years) passed. We have 3 fairly spoiled indoor cats that are living their best lives. I am also certified I'm pet CPR and first aide. I truly love caring for animals and giving them the healthiest, happiest lives possible. I am currently managing our home/family, and working part time from home. I have plenty of time to fill, and a flexible schedule available for your pets needs! We crate train at home for our pets safety. His crate is his happy place, and I believe can be helpful for creating a sense of security.
